JOIN US at a forum which will help you succeed in the new reality with
new-perhaps once in a lifetime-opportunities whether you are an investor, a
government representative or food waste generator (as all of us are).

 

Our Investment Forum shows how to invest in an industry which can change our
economy.  Investors are not only private institutions, but even more
importantly, municipalities and other governmental bodies, and every one of
us as generators.  By investing jointly in a new, "green" food waste
industry, all of us can improve our financial outlook and quality of life.
Food waste recycling, particularly in the heavily populated and food waste
dense State of New Jersey and the immediate surrounding region presents
unparalleled financial opportunities for post recession growth, for the
following reasons:

 

*	The products which can be made from food waste represent everyday,
necessary products-fuel and energy products and soil amendments/fertilizers.
Consumer demand for these products may decline somewhat, but these products
will continue to be a basis for everyday living --  powering and heating our
buildings, fueling our cars and trucks, and providing soil productivity for
crops and landscape.  Indeed, in the area of soil amendments, there is
strong evidence that use of compost and organic fertilizer made from food
waste can reduce costs by helping the soil achieve more productivity with
smaller chemical and water inputs.
*	All of these products can be made locally, reducing our need to be
"rescued" by emerging economies with lower production costs such as China or
India.
*	Food waste recycling is becoming a national trend which those
businesses which generate food waste are eager to embrace.  Walmart, the
largest retailer in the world, is planning to roll out a 50 state food waste
recycling program for its stores by the end of this year.  Competition for
the "green" business advantage will drive other businesses, large and small,
to follow suit.  Now is the time to invest in the food waste recycling
options which will be paid to take the raw material for the valuable
everyday products listed above.  

 

General registration is $40, $25 for additional people from the same
organization, and $25 for non-profit or government.  Register or sponsor at

It hits you, your life has changed

Again and again

You learn your lesson

But something still remains."
